FurAffinity did it again.

Some moderator removed the group icon for Antifascist Furs, which I was using as a sort of anti-chud talisman. I've since just removed the page, and reworked my profile to be a bit more politically explicit about myself with educational links to those curious.

While I have low ideological commitment to any school that isn't large tent 'anarchism without adjectives' I am most at home with Insurrectionary Anarchism, although ideally I'm in favour of syndicalist and illegalist elements corroborating together, rather than eshewing organization completely. I don't see this as incongruent, but compliamentary. Wildcat strikes can fall within the remit of the insurrectionist's idea of attack, and those in turn can build from the worker's resentment into a wider strike and inspire other fields of workers.

I think it goes without saying, that I'm not at all interested in debating my beliefs. Its bad enough I give up some free saturdays of a month to go to a leftist book club, let alone talk to strangers who've built zero rapport with me to talk about something as personal to me yet so far removed from their comfortable lives.

Don't wanna debate them. Do wanna learn more. If you've pre-existing writing on the topic, would you mind pointing me in the right direction? This is coming from a place of "feels about right, wanna learn more, maybe even pick up some nuance"

This is often why I link to libcom and CrimeTh!nc who provide excellent guides, with Libcom in particular offering an introductionary series and CrimeTh!nc doing a number of zines.

Insurrectionary Anarchism is a smaller trend within individualist anarchist schools of thought, and is related to the writings of Stirner and Malatesta. It has some historical baggage with what's called 'Propaganda of the Deed' which fell out of favour, as when you assassinate a CEO another would just take place, and more emphasis in recent times has been on direct action and affinity groups. So say you're part of a community that has trouble with landlords, instead of waiting for a candidate that cares about tenants at the ballot box you can addresss the issue directly by establishing a tenant's union and organizing workshops to teach people about their legal rights as a tenant and knowing how and when to report the landlords. This isn't unique to Insurrectionary tendencies, but what is, is the 'lack of retraint' where other tendencies think there is a right time for action and only for a small scope of permitable actions. Insurrection rejects this, ultimately coming down to the individual or a close-knit cooperative group on what needs to be done.

Some people might take pause at this, others think its immature. I see it as more, a better world is possible, and worth fighting for, even if it makes others uncomfortable.
